Triathlon Training?
After some convincing by RL tonight, I’ve decided to start training for the Malibu Tri in September. I know I can do the swim and bike portion right now. The running part is what I don’t like. All that pounding on the knees - I don’t know how my knees will react. My homework for this week is to find a triathlon group to start training with. I found a women’s group to train with online, but… I think I prefer a co-ed group. Too many women might mean too much drama. In the meantime, I’ll keep biking, start swimming, and start running. I DON’T LIKE TO RUN…. Maybe I will see the light and change my mind when I start running again…
I saw a LOT of cyclists this morning. The Mulholland Challenge, I think. As for my ride this morning, I think today’s route is my favorite route of all. It used to be Mulholland-Malibu Lake-Rock Store-Decker-Hidden Valley and back. But today’s ride up Piuma-down Stunt is, by far, my favorite now. Nice long climb. And the downhill was so so so so nice. Uphill was not easy. Not hard, but not easy. I was glad that I had the compact cranks and 27s in the back in the last few hundred feet of the climb. I started to feel it in my left knee a little bit. But it wasn’t impossible. So beautiful up there… I SO wished that I had brought my camera with me. But my camera is SO fricken BIG. So I went to BestBuy and bought a smaller camera to carry with me. I need to go pick up a Bento Box thingamajig for the camera so that I can start carrying it with me on my bike. =P
